Hailing from Florida, but now based in Brooklyn, this singer and songwriter was born as Kayla Raquel Schwartz. She fell in love with music at a young age, studying piano, guitar and voice. She’s got a bachelor’s degree in studio music and jazz vocal performance at the Frost School of Music and a master’s in Jazz Studies from the New England Conservatory. Inspired by Ella Fitzgerald, Aretha Franklin and Donna Summer, she debuted her soul-pop sound on “Eleanor” in 2022.
Narrating the annoying situation of getting stuck talking to a horrible person in public who just won’t leave you alone, her new single tells a relatable tale. Inviting those lyrics into a mesmerizing soundscape, the song starts with retro synth chords, before being joined by a bouncy rhythm. Ascending to a sparkling and anthemic chorus, the neon-dipped melody blends soft and mysterious with lively and dazzling. And with her hypnotic vocals, this multifarious tune is utterly magical.

Born in Baton Rouge, this pop/rock singer and songwriter learned to play piano by ear at the age of 6. Over time he added trumpet and cello to his skillset. He started as a jazz trumpet player and classical vocalist before transitioning to pop. Now based in Los Angeles, he’s using his music to spread awareness for the LGBTQ+ community and empower those who need it most. Drawing inspiration from Ariana Grande, Sam Smith and Demi Lovato, he released his debut single “Secrets” in 2020.
Highlighting the daily difficulties that homophobia is still causing, his new single is a journey of transforming fear and rejection into true authenticity. Softly ascending into the dynamic melody with smooth, orchestral flair, the song expands with a heartbeat rhythm, before erupting in the catchy chorus with pop synths and guitars. And with lyrical honesty and his mesmerizing and soaring vocals, this highly infectious tune combines an emotional message with sheer vibrancy.
